From Tom Moloughney.

I received exclusive footage of a 2022 Tesla Model 3 on fire close to where I live in New Jersey on 9/13/23. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to talk about what happened here and look deeper into the topic of electric vehicle fires, and whether they are more dangerous or safer than combustion vehicles in that regard.
